Hello there,

I have recently purchased the attached Geneve Dynamic. I am wondering where I find the serial number of the watch?

Regarding he date change at midnight. I have noticed that the day of the week does not change until midnight, but the date starts to transition at around 2300. I would gather this is normal? Movement is cal. 752.

What are your thoughts on the piece?

 

@SpikiSpikester is our resident guru on these.

Serial no is on the movement.

Nice looking piece

 

Thanks for that, do you know anything about the date change:

"I have noticed that the day of the week does not change until midnight, but the date starts to transition at around 2300. I would gather this is normal? Movement is cal. 752."

 

Pretty sure that is normal, yes.

 

Does the dial look correct? Not sure if the "O" in Omega is fully rounded as in:

"The fully rounded O, the double chevron M, a ‘G’ that appears almost circular in shape and the pointed ‘A’ in Omega are good indications of authenticity. Flat top ‘A’ letters in the automatic script, along with the fully circular ‘O’ and a ‘C’ that looks like a broken ‘O” are the means in which to confirm script originality. In examining the Geneve and Dynamic lettering, the G is identical to the Omega script, the e letters could be joined to form a circle and the accent above the ‘e’ is equidistantly placed. The Dynamic lettering has serif font, particularly on the ‘Y’, ‘N’, ‘A’., ‘M’ and ‘I’. The script is also finely printed and is not thick as is seen in many refinished dials."

 

As I replied on WUS the key is when the day and date finish changing - they should click over at the same time (or very close to it) on or near midnight. If not, then the calendar mechanism is not set-up properly and needs to be synched.

Cheers, Al

 

I might also add that the original finish was polished off. I don't mind the high polished look personally, but originaly it should be more of a brushed satin finish as you can See here :

Ok thanks. They both change at the same time, however the date starts to "move" at around 11:00pm - assume this is normal? Day of the week clicks over at midnight.

 

Ok, thanks everyone. If the watch date needs to be synced, how is this done? Also, regarding the dial, does this look correct in terms of the fonts, etc.

 

As @STANDY have mentioned, the watch looks good - this means that it is correct.
However, as @Speedmasterfan88 writes, the case has been polished so it hasn't got the original finish anymore.

 

Give it some time for the guys that know these to come along，chill look at some watches in the WRUW thread and they will be along.

Looks to me it could even be new hands, dial and crystal but as said others are more knowledgeable on these than me.

 

Does anyone know where i can get dial of Omega Dynamic Geneve? i want a racing dial

 

I have too much freetime on my Hands... Here you go .

Thanks but that wasnt the one i am looking for. I am looking for a dark blue racing dial or a plain black dial. I'll attach the photo

 

Ah okay ! I suggest you search eBay now and then. They come up there from Time to Time.

 

alright thanks

 

@SpikiSpikester

Exactly that is the black dial that i am looking for do you know anywhere i can get that? please let me know. Thanks

 

Thanks for that, much appreciated. Just a couple more questions.

- Regarding the "service dial" I gather this means it is a replacement dial from Omega? The lume seems to still work, so it is clearly not the original Tritium as denoted by the "t." Does the dial or watch look like a third party knockoff or fake?

- I notice a small Omega logo right in the middle of the acrylic crystal - I gather this is usual for this?

- Regarding the polishing of the case, I have seen a lot of dynamics like this, so I gather this is something that is done depending on personal taste?

- In terms of value, the polishing is obviously likely to cause a decrease. Considering I paid approx. $1000USD for it, is this a ballpark price?

 

Can't answer all your questions but regarding the Omega Logo in the Center of the crystal, this Is indeed standart Omega procedure for as far as I know, all hesalite/acrylic crystals. Price-wise I find 1k $ quite strong for a polished Geneve on a leather strap.

Cheers,
